I have to agree with polar bear, simply for the reason that if you pay above someone's B/O, you are overpaying by the very definition of the word. It's not even a matter of unusual overpay imo, just overpaying in general. Besides, by your logic anyone can just find some god tier 1 of 1, pay over someone's B/O for it, and say it is worth that much. But is it? Is anyone else going to pay that much for it? Just seems so artificial to me.

And you guys wonder why bp.tf has a bad rep with high to god tier traders.

Pricing hats is on what they paid. Not their buy outs. We let the .9 overpay calculation slide over time. But really.... Cmon. Your decreasing the price from 90 to 81 or 82. To 90 to 75. That's a huge difference. Are you going to refund me the 15 pure? Like hell you will.

Again, you had the option of selling your hats and collecting 75 pure. But out of convenience you overpaid. I'll leave at that here. We are interested in people's opinions and we haven't made the rule official yet (though we were pushing for that soon). If you would like to voice your opinions about that, feel free to make a post about it in the forums

Refund you? How are you losing money exactly? If you are it would be your own fault if you overpaid. Then again, if the hat is worth 85, you should have no trouble selling for that, and getting your refund.

And that is why I said the 81 or 82 is the over pay price. I never said put it at 90.

If your making the price of the b/o at 75. Then you should consider repricing all the hats priced that had unusuals traded because not every hat is sold by pure and pure alone.

Yeah, pricing high tier stuff is a real challenge. The KE had documented of 60+ and 2 sales at 70 to justify that range. The noh had a b/o of 75. So you adding the 15 pure seems like you overpaid for it when you could have sold the ke for 75 first and then bought the noh. Look it's tough and no system is perfect. We try to price things in pure as much as we can because that is the most consistent / reliable way to establish prices on a guide. But all that goes haywire on high end stuff with so few pure sales (though it does happen as with that burning tc and burning noh). We decided to stick with our guideline that all hats should be priced in pure. And if someone was looking for 75 pure and got paid 90, we take it as if the buyer overpaid. I understand if it seems like that's not fair, and again feel free to post in the forums with your rationale against it. But you paying 90 or even 80 is just overpay when he was only looking for 75

I'll link this suggestion to other mods to see how they feel. Like I said, we want to hear from the community as a whole and base our decisions in a way to help the community at large. The problem we've had in recent times is that high end buyers will way overpay above b/o's and just make a suggestion for whatever they pay. And that's not necessarily fair to the rest of the community. It's certainly not easy to decide one way or the other. This will be my last post here. Feel free to add me to discuss or post in the forums. Like I said, we are all ears about this and we want to sample a broad demographics of people before we make decisions on things like this.

You have full reason to be upset about this, but, you're missing the big picture here.

The fact still stands that Shadow wanted 75 pure and would have been more than happy to take 75 pure. Overpay is great and all, it's how you profit in this community most of the time, but shouldn't be considered when establishing prices on here. Prices here are meant to be in pure, so because Shadow was willing to take 75 pure, the price should not be more than 75 pure.
